Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s original starter configuration before installation, especially on 1997 Toyota Camry applications with standard or optional 1.2kW and 1.4kW notes. Confirm the 12V system, counterclockwise rotation, open nose style, and 13-tooth pinion match the removed unit. Because this part is superseded to 17281, confirm catalog supersession and OE reference details during parts lookup before installation.
